No. 782,156 1 Claim. (Cl. 22429) This invention relates to golfing equipment and more particularly to an accessory therefore.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an accessory for all types of golf bags that will conveniently carry various articles frequently used by golfers during the playing of the game.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a case for removable attachment to a golf bag that will conveniently carry various articles in separate pockets so as to support such material for convenient use at any desired time.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a. golfers case bearing the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, has a minimum number of parts, is inexpensive to manufacture and efiicient in operation.

For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the ac companying drawing, in which:

FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a carrying case made in accordance with the present invention in operative use;

FIGURE 2 is an enlarged front plan View of the golfers case shown in FIGURE 1;

FIGURE 3 is an end elevational view of the device shown in FIGURE 2; and

FIGURE 4 is a rear elevational view of the device shown in FIGURE 2.

Referring now more in detail to the drawing, a golfers case made in accordance with the present invention is shown to include a main back panel 12 constructed of any desired material having a downwardly opening hem l4 integral with the upper rear edge that slidably receives the upwardly directed leg 16 of a bracket member having another leg 18 defining a downwardly opening slot for frictionally receiving the rim 20 of a golf bag therewithin.

An upwardly opening pencil clip 22 is secured to the uppermost portion of the bracket member for releasably supporting the pencil ror pen "24 therewithin that is frequently required for keeping score during the golf game. Additional panels 26, 30, are secured to the front side of the base panel 12, with the smaller one of the panels 30 marginally secured along the bottom and side edges to the next larger panel 26, which is, in turn, marginally secured along the bottom and side edges to the man back panel 12. The intermediate panel 26 defines an upwardly opening pocket 23 within which a score card, package of cigarettes, or other accessories may be carried. The smaller panel 30 also defines an upwardly 3,010,528 Patented Nov. 28, 1961 ice opening pocket within which other similar articles, such as matches, candy, chewing gum, or the like may be carried. In addition, a strip 32 extends transversely across all of the additional panels and is secured at opposite ends to the opposite ends of the base panel 12. Another strip is secured to the front of the transverse strip 32 at laterally spaced apart sections to define a plurality of tubular portions 34 within which additional articles, such as tees '36 may be removably supported.

It will now be recognized that this small compact case may be readily attached to the rim 2% of any desired golf bag, and all necessary articles frequently required for use by golfers may be carried frequently with the utmost comfort to the user. it no longer is necessary to carry such small articles in pockets, handbags, or the like and all such articles are maintained in clear view for easy access at all times.

While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claim.

What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is:

An accessory for golf bags and the like comprising, in combination, a main substantially rectangular back panel having a downwardly opening hem integral with an upper rear edge thereof, a bracket comprising an angleshaped member having one leg extending upwardly into said hem and another leg defining a downwardly opening groove for frictionally receiving the rim of a golf bag therewithin and removably securing said back panel upon the rim of the golf bag, additional panels supported upon said back panel defining individual pockets therewith and comprising a plurality of ditferent size sheets, each smaller sheet being marginally secured along bottom and side edges to the next larger size sheet to define an upwardly opening pocket therewith, and a band extending transversely across the front of all of said sheets and secured at each end to an opposite end of said back panel and including laterally-spaced-apart sections defining a plurality of substantially parallel upwardly and downwardly open tubular article-receiving portions transversely spaced therealong.
